Nightingales In Russia.

That man must be very sleepy who
would complain Of being kept awake by
n~ightingales. These birds inhabit the
thickets around my hotel. About IL
O'Clock the first night of u arrival one
of them awoke me from a sound sleep.
A window stood ajar and music flooded
the chamber. The singer was a soloist.
Not a sound Of any kind interrupted his
performance. Even the crickets stopped
10 listen. Somebody has taken the
trouble to jot down every note and trill
of the nightingale's song. 1t may be re-
produced, / believe, on the upper octaves
Of the piano; but it can never be made to
sound as ravishing as the "wood notes
wild" of that bird in those bushes. Per-
haps imagination has something to do
with the effect. Memory quickly recalls
fugitive scraps of poetry about nightin-
gales, and one listens to them the more
greedily. Suddenly the music, which
was so enchanting, woke echoes far and
near. Other n~ightingales, s If accept
ing a challenge, responded to the soloist.
1t was too much of a good thing. The
sweet sounds ran together and became
confused. What had been perfect as an
air was discord as a chorus. In the midst
of it the chief singer ceased. A few
minutes later and all was quiet. Round

only in the most vague and general man.

minutes is enough" says a third; ''Oh.

authoritative rules is tempted to fall back

The fact is that no two constitutions

two days are alike. One person can stay
in the water for hours, another only a
few minutes. It is q universally safe
rule 30 leave the water on the first indi-
cation of chilliness. There is a wide
distinction between cold and chill, though
the first is sure to induce the second in
short order; but a plunge may be taken
into tolerably cold water with pleasurable
results, il the bath be not prolonged until

One Of the hardest things In detective
life is for the officer 10 be obliged to re-
port on family matters. No matter how
long he has been in the business, or how
fireproof he has become, the detective who
can make a report which he knows will
break up a family and bring wretched-
ness to half a dozen persons Is a scarce
article. That is, he will report to his
chief verbally or by letter, and thus let
the information get to those who hunger
for il and yet dread to hear the truth.
To face a husband when the horror of
dishonor is upon him-to report to a wife
that her husband long since ceased to love
her, and that her only remedy is the
scandal of a divorce suits a position no
one in the service wants to fill a second
time.
A fair share Of the detective business Of
every city in the land hinges upon family
matters, and the work done seldom APP
pears in print, or If the newspaper re-
porters get hold of the circumstance, the
particulars are kept away from them.
For a long term of years my assignments
as a detective connected with the force of
one of our large cities were entirely of
this character, and some Of the incidents
can be related without injury to any ones
feelings. l did not associate with the
criminal detectives at all, and the ma
jority of them did not know me by
name. -New York Sun.

Musical Art In China.

The Chinese play today just AZ they
did 1000 years ago. The art as it was
then has been petrifed ''by a fantastic
system of mental philosophy and an ada
mantine conservatism" So that in con-
sidering the condition of the musical art
in China today we have an actual sight
of what was the system and practice at
the time of Plato. ''The refinement in
their knowledge of music" said the lee
turer, sis mostly on its metaphysical
side. The Chinese sages could and did
publish doctrine touching music which
Is golden doctrine in the art Of today"
but the sounds they produce are a ''din
in which traces of order and of melodi-
Gus sequence are not discernible except
by a very patient and a very well trained
ear. A barbarism rests on the music
still, and to add to the many paradoxes
which the Chinese hold before us, they
concede that the art Of today is a degen-
crate one, but speak with pride of one
now lost which fiourished at a time
when Greece was yet shrouded in pre-
historic gloom. "-H. E. Krehbiel's Ad-

Clocks are regarded as important and
intricate institutions in this country.
There are plenty of them everywhere,
even in hotel chambers and apartments
in lodgings. But they are usually wound
by a man from outside, who comes daily

gives the required twisting, looks at the

Temptations of sub-Treasury Clerks.

The temptation to take money does not
seem to leave people after they have been
handling it for a long time, as the public
generally believe. l had a case many,
many years ago. One Of the clerks in
the sub-treasury came 10 me and said:
'Do you know that when l 60 into the
vault where those packages of bills are !
could thrust one In my pocket and no
body would ever know it?" He had
been with me a long while, and l had
always trusted him. I trusted him then;
but / knew the thought of taking some
Of that money had run through his mind,

way of that temptation again. So l told
him what ] thought, and thereafter he

THE United States Government Is
taking active measures to protect
American citizens who are engaged
in business In Honolulu. American
interests are dominant there and are
entitled to protection. The spreckles
largely own the sugar industry in
which the bulk of the foreign capital
Is invested, but the reineries are To-
Gated at San Francisco. Were they
not protected in their growing inter-
ests Oh the island the consequences
would be serious to the sugar business
of this country. So far all Of the for
eign interests cave been acting In hsr-
mony against the king and his evil
advisers and associates, but this spirit
may not long exist. and II is wise on
the part Of our general government to
